Path for images in PDFs

[Claus Bech Rasmussen - TELMORE <cb...@telmore.dk>]

Hi folks,

I'm running Forrest via Jetty and maybe I just don't understand how
requests are mapped, but here's my scenario:

I have something like this in a document:

    <p><img alt="forrestGif" src="images/111-forrest.gif" /></p>

The HTML works like a charm, but the images is not included in the PDF
version.

Now, if I just do this instead:

    <p><img alt="forrestGif" src="./images/111-forrest.gif" /></p>

Everything works fine. 

The document is sitting in a directory under xdocs and so is the
"images" dir. I tried changing the properties so that the images dir was
this local one - that fixed the PDF but broke the HTML.

Any hints?

Any href of "images/..." maps to src/documentation/resources/images 
(this is used for images common to many pages).  PDF image inclusion is 
not very flexible so it choses to load images from the resources 
directory rather than a relative "images" directory.  HTML generation 
looks in both directories it seems.
